The August results show that shoppers love a strong mix of character, surprise, and sensory appeal. Spooky Steamers, mystery dumplings, and glow-in-the-dark designs bring collectible excitement, while the Unicorn and Sportlings styles give shoppers an easy way to choose a favorite based on personality or interests.

The list also shows the power of variety. Full-size designs make a bold display statement, petite styles are easy to collect and gift, and the jumbo butter squishy offers a bigger, more satisfying novelty experience. Add in seasonal themes and playful characters, and there is plenty to keep shoppers curious.

What are the best squishy toys?

The best squishy toy depends on what you want from it. Look for a comfortable feel, a shape that feels good in your hand, durable materials, and a design that matches the recipient’s personality. The August favorites show that shoppers especially enjoyed jelly dumplings, mystery designs, seasonal characters, and playful slow-rise foam styles.

What squishies are most popular?

The most popular squishies tend to combine a cute design with a texture that feels satisfying to squeeze. Mystery collectibles, food-inspired shapes, glow-in-the-dark details, and character themes are popular for collecting, gifting, and everyday fidgeting. The Merry Squishmas Jelly Dumplings led the August list, followed by Spooky Steamers and the Glow-in-the-Dark Mystery Black Steamer.

Which squishy toys are best for stress or anxiety?

Many people enjoy squishy toys as a simple sensory tool during work, study, travel, or downtime. For a comfortable squeeze, choose a soft style that fits easily in your hand and can withstand repeated use. Palm-sized squishies and purpose-made fidget styles are often the easiest to use discreetly.

Squishy toys can support a calming routine or provide a satisfying sensory break, but they are not a treatment for anxiety or any medical condition. For children, always follow the product’s age guidance and supervise use when appropriate.

How to choose a squishy — for yourself or as a gift?

Start with the design. Holiday fans may go for Merry Squishmas, sports lovers may prefer Sportlings, and collectors may enjoy a mystery dumpling with a surprise element. If you want something eye-catching, look for glow-in-the-dark or character-driven designs.

Next, consider size. Petite styles are easy to carry and collect, while larger squishies create a more substantial squeeze and make a bigger impression on a display. A squishy with a great feel that fits comfortably in one hand is a fun choice for a desk, travel bag, or gift basket.
